It is the fastest planet because it is the closest planet to the sun so, it has a shortcut. Your weight on Mercury would be 30% of your weight on earth. A day on Mercury is 176 Earth days. You will last 2 minutes if you are on Mercury, due to freezing or burning up. So Jupiter is more dangerous because you can survive for LESS THAN A SECOND on Jupiter. Rember how I wrote that a day on mercury is 176 earth days, well, it is because Mercury is sssuuupppeeerrr slow at rotating. I really don't know why. Even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is still not the hottest. Venus is actually the hottest. btw the second closest planet to the sun is Venus. It (Mercury) is a terrestrial planet. Hope you enjoyed it.
